FYI as a one hander u may want to try that first. I've shot guns very similar one handed and it's damn tough. About 6.5 lbs of weight way out in front of you. The amt of weight is a factor but where that weight is is a huge IMO. If a lot of the weight is back near ur shoulder u are essentially aiming or pivoting the gun vs if u have all that unsupported weight out there it's very tough.I have been in the hunt for one of these for a couple of years now… if'n my man @LuckySG can't track one down, NOBODY can!

As a somewhat inaccurate analogy think if you had a 6.5 lb sledgehammer 26" long or whatever and held it with the head against your shoulder. It would be easy to point. Now if u held the handle end against ur shoulder and all the weight is out front it woudl be much harder. Now take it off your shoulder and hold it by the end of the handle with your arm extended. How hard would it be to point? If u were Schwarzenegger it would be no problem though.
Also the distance away from ur body u have to hold a birdshead grip shotgun is usually farther than one with a stock (even farther if u are shooting one handed so it doesn't pop u in the mouth/face). This video is pretty long but explains it well near the end where they compare distance from ur body.
